I bought a summoner name change, then queue'd up with some friends. I got disconnected from the team queue chat box. When we found a game, I was rather confused to see that there were five Summoner names I had never heard showing up as my team. Then they started talking, I saw it. Couldn't see my team's chat, but I was in Skype with them so it was fine. Ended up talking to them, STEALING THEIR SECRETS (not really). When my turn came to pick, it worked perfectly fine, and game started. Totally normal game after that.

Well they're basically saying "Oh you don't want to accept our new ToS? Well then I don't think you need these games anymore. How about we just delete your account and these games you bought with it. No refunds."

Which is exactly what he's already agreed to in previous ToS's. It's never been a secret that Steam can ban/deactivate your account and you lose access to your games. You rarely hear about it because it rarely happens. There was a surge of it when people were using stolen credit cards to gift other people Steam games (Which will result in the banning of the accounts that bought and recieved the game. You are responsible for any gifts you accept as well as buy).

But what is happening here isn't new, it's just a low level customer support agent telling the user what they have already agreed to; If you don't agree to the ToS, we can deactivate your account for you.

Also, if you don't agree or decline the updated ToS within 30 days, you auto agree. Just another fun fact.

Ya, I think you are just missing the point though. It is the way they responded. Instead of answering his question and stating, "no, you would need to accept the new TOS or lose access to your games", they say "sure we can deactivate your account for you, fuck you, and have a good day." when that wasnt even the question.

With the way it was answered, OP was informed of all the implications of not accepting the ToS. It isn't that he simply can't play his games; his account will be deactivated, any money he has on the account will be gone, he won't get a refund, and this is very very permanent. He won't be blocked from playing games on Steam, he will stop existing on Steam.

The Rep gave OP all the relevant information to his question; the answer to his question, and all the information that OP needs to make an informed decision. It's the reality that's somewhat harsh, not the Rep's reaction.

If anything, it's the alternative that would be wrong. If the Rep had simply said 'No', and OP had said 'Well fuck your ToS then!', then OP would have had his account deleted. The Rep is forcing OP to make an informed decision rather than an uninformed decision that turns into a mistake.

Lucian AD Carry. Black guy in the white coat with two guns shooting lasers. Very popular pick right now, has good mobility for an AD Carry, shoots twice after a skill use. His ult is a long range directional stream of bullets; once he starts firing it he can't change its direction. Very strong early/mid game, drops off lategame.

Janna; Support, floating wind lady. Can shoot tornadoes in a straight line for knockups. Shield that gives its target bonus AD. Ult knocks all enemies away from Janna and heals allies. Her ult is very important, since it can more or less stop or reset fights. RC is known for their aggressive play, Janna is very good for forcing fights on her team's terms.

Dr. Mundo; Top lane. Big purple guy throwing cleavers. Cleavers deal % based damage and have a strong slow. Mundo gets regen based on his max health, and his ult restores 40/50/60% of his max health. Mundo's job is to be very hard to kill and stick on carries. Very vulnerable to Ignite (Summoner Spell; DoT that reduces healing by 50%).

Lee Sin; the martial arts guy who is flying all over the screen. Lee Sin is the jungler, known for his insane mobility. Lee can jump to enemies and allies with two different skills, has a slow and a pretty big knockback. If you see someone flying who doesn't usually fly across the screen, it was probably a Lee Sin ult.

Syndra; AP Carry. Purple lady making magic orbs and throwing them and minions all over the place. Her ult has insane burst potential, and has a pretty long range AoE stun/slow. Lots of damage, long range.

For RC;

Ryze; Top Laner. Blue guy with lightning effects. Until recently, traditionally a midlaner. Ryze's damage scales with his mana, allowing him to build tanky items (Frozen Heart) while increasing his damage. Has a root, AoE damage, and a very spammable single target spell. All of his cool downs are reduced by 1 second when he casts another spell, meaning that Ryze can cast a lot of spells very quickly.

Orianna; Mid Lane. Yellow/bronze clockwork lady with the matching floating orb. Skills based around her ball, known for her long range, strong damage output, and game changing ult that pulls nearby enemies into the ball (with a small stun). Good catches with Ori ult can win fights/games.

Caitlyn; AD Carry. Sheriff lady with the rifle. Caitlyn is range. One of the longest attack ranges in the game, a long range skill shot, Cait is great for sieging towers. Has a self-knockback for escaping that will slow an enemy. Her ult is Sniper ult.

Nami; Support. Fish Lady. Has a heal that bounces to enemies for damage, can buff Tristana's damage, has a hard-to-hit but long AoE stun, and her ult is a massive tidal wave that knocks up then slows pretty much everyone in a teamfight.

Silk (who pretends/wants to be a great warrior) found the spike and thought it was just a powerful weapon. Then he bumped into the Weaver, and managed to shove it into it's eye. Probably, at the time, the Weaver was just a big spider since Silk managed to stab it and live. With Maligaro's spike planted firmly in its face, however, the Weaver was corrupted and went batshit crazy.

Those aren't the names of other people, those are shorthand notes for areas and chunks of game. In this format, he can see where he has gained and lost time compared to other runs, and how he's gearing up. In After CCM, he was 6 seconds slower than what he was comparing it to (what that is, I'm not quite sure. Either his previous runs or the previous record.) Since the total -s were greater than the total +s (by 98 seconds), he set a new record.

EDIT: Sorry, I wasn't thinking when I explained that. You don't add the -s and the +s, that's just what is displayed. So when he went from +6 to -6, he actually made up 12 seconds and was 6 seconds ahead of where record was. When he went from -6 to -2, he actually lost 4 seconds, but was still ahead by 2. In the end, he was ahead by 7 seconds, setting the new record. This means that Siglemic was ~.23% faster than the previous record.

"has historically had rules against ..." - then why not include them in the actual rules? That's like saying "boxing has historically had rules against blacks fighting whites, so we're going to ignore that Jack Johnson beat Tommy Burns".

It wasn't massaging the rules. It was reading the rules, realizing that entangling was a great and legal way to neutralize spinners. The organizers fucked up and instead of owning up to it decided to punish the people who followed the rules.

Even when it was off the air, the scene was still alive and popular, with a small group of people dedicated to what they were doing. These people shared a passion for what they were doing and cared about keeping the games fun and fair.

Total Control knew what he was doing was against the spirit of the community, unfair and anti-fun. Gaming the system / finding a very specific situation in which something normally not allowed can be sneaked in is not conducive to a healthy community.

In addition to this, the net wasn't actually part of his bot. He literally walked on, shoved a box with a net in it onto his bot, and rammed it into Ghost Raptor. Again, while technically not in violation of the rules, it is very much against the spirit of the rules and the community.

While I agree that it was an oversight by the organizers, Total Control knew exactly what he was doing. If anything, I'd argue he was put up to it at some point by the organizers, because back in the day he was often used as a heel and this was the only situation in which anyone tried to 'sneak' anything into the competition.

The fact that there was no actual penalty and resulted in nothing but a rematch shows that the organizers recognized that no rules were actually broken but the match was still invalid (Or, as I suspect, it was all scripted to add some drama to the show).

or one of the seven billion non-Americans who don't hang on every word spoken by foreign leaders.

Quickly off the top of your head albequirky, could you tell me which Canadian prime minister, or Mexican president has launched the most significant humanitarian aid effort in Africa? And those are just the two nations that border on the US…

It's a little arrogant to expect others to have intimate knowledge of every nation's leadership decisions, so calling people ignorant if they don't know what you know doesn't really carry much weight - I hope you can see why.

Here's the difference; albequirky claimed no knowledge of those leaders, while thatbattleboi's comment shows surprise at Bush's 'good guy' side. albequirky's response is saying that if thatbattleboi was unaware of Bush's 'good guy' side, then he is uninformed.

You're saying that albequirky shouldn't expect everyone to have intimate knowledge of every leader. I agree. However, that wasn't the issue. The issue was that thatbattleboi felt confident enough to show disdain for Bush (surprise at his humanitarian ('good guy') efforts) while also showing a lack of knowledge about the former president.

Not picking sides, just saying you're finding faults with an argument that albequirky isn't making.

One nice thing I've noticed is that you can still donate to donation machines on your victory laps, so even if you don't plan on going through the whole lap, it's probably worth it to cash in on those Womb 1 to End coins you picked up.

For example, the Emancipation Proclamation (The thing that everyone says freed the slaves) freed slaves in states in rebellion (the South). There were still slaves in the North that weren't freed. This means that not only did Lincoln not end slavery, but he did nothing to effect slavery (with this). The states out of rebellion got to keep their slaves, and the states in rebellion were in rebellion, and didn't care what the President of the North thought

I think that alone makes it clear that there was a lot more than the issue of slavery here.

No, you just usually saved the quest rewards for level 19 (when experience from killing enemies was at its lowest). Most of the experience came from deathleveling; You pulled a huge group of Charr to the highest level zone's rez shrine, had them kill all of the NPCs there, and then let them kill you. Enemies gained experience and leveled up the same way as players, so if you left them there overnight (constantly killing the player), you'd come back to ~level 20 enemies, which were high enough to give experience to even level 19 players. You could still get to 20 without quests, it just made a very long process even longer.

There was a title for it (Legendary Defender of Ascalon), and eventually became much easier when they added daily quests that spawned higher level enemies and gave experience as a reward.
